6. I get your ire about this. There are other considerations though.

First, let me say Dahl is absolutely in the wrong here. I am an atheist and would be flat out refusing to go to these meetings.

Dahl is a "Second Chance" employer. Here, in Oregon, that means he hires people with felonies and other issues that most every other company would never hire. Basically, Second Chance employers here do something I and many others of us on DU support. They help people with an unfavorable past re-integrate into society. That is critical to keeping people from going back to crime or back to addictive behaviors. It gives people a chance to establish a positive work history and then move on to better things.

Do I want the courts to tell Dahl he cannot make a forced religious exercise a job requirement? Damn right I do!

Do I want him bankrupted and put out of business? No, I don't. If you read my other post in this thread you will see why. I feel Dahl is very much misguided. I don't feel he has the same pious hypocrisy behind him that the Pence's of the world do though.
